Reform Of Jersey Contract Law: Practical Perspectives

This article is a slightly updated version of a dissertation submitted as part of an LL.M. degree in Jersey law awarded by the Institute of Law. It considers the origins of Jersey’s law of contract, the need for reform of the law, the possible options for reform and the practical implications of doing so by means of a codification. Some inspiration is taken from other mixed jurisdictions in the Commonwealth that derive their law of contract from the French Code Civil.
